Services
Storm Water Engineering
Cdim Engineering engineers develop cost-effective storm water solutions by combining regulatory knowledge with engineering expertise. We design BMPs, prepare SWPPPs, and ensure compliance with California CGP and IGP permits. Our services include hydrologic modeling, permit compliance, and expert litigation support for Clean Water Act claims.
Site Assessment
We conduct Phase I/II ESAs and soil/groundwater investigations to support property transactions and regulatory compliance. Our assessments include hazardous waste site evaluations, sediment testing, and vapor intrusion analysis. We work with agencies to achieve site closure or no further action status for former industrial sites.
Remediation
Cdim Engineering designs and implements remediation solutions for soil, sediment, and groundwater contamination. Services include excavation, stabilization, soil vapor extraction, and subaqueous capping. We develop feasibility studies, remediation plans, and perform effectiveness evaluations for RCRA and CERCLA sites.
Regulatory Compliance
We help clients comply with federal, state, and local regulations including CAA, CEQA, and CERCLA. Our services cover hazardous waste permitting, air/wastewater discharge compliance, SPCC plans, and emergency response programs. We specialize in San Francisco Bay Area regulatory frameworks.
Environmental Project Management
Our project managers coordinate environmental engineering projects from design to completion. We provide construction oversight, RFIs, submittal reviews, and as-built documentation. Services include compliance monitoring, cost estimation, and technical report preparation for complex environmental projects.
